Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog and located a series titled Eastern Cherokee Applications, 8/29/1906 - 5/26/1909 in the Records of the U.S. Court of Claims, 1835-1984 (Record Group 123). These records are in the custody of the National Archives at Washington, DC (RDT1). For access to and/or copies of these records, please contact RDT1 via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.
We also located 5 series pertaining to Cherokees & awards and 15 series regarding Cherokee & applications in the Records of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, 1793-1999 (Record Group 75). All of the series for awards and 8 series of the applications are in the custody of the National Archives at Fort Worth (RM-FW). For access to and/or copies of these records, please contact RM-FW via email at
ftworth.archives@nara.gov. Five series of applications are in the custody of RDT1.
